My communication style

I like for my clients to feel excited and hopeful about coming to therapy. I aim to create a relaxing and fun environment, and I pride myself on creating a strong and trusting relationship. My communication style is friendly, personal, engaging, and humorous.

My journey to mental healthcare

I found my passion working with kids through volunteering and later moved into school counseling doing play therapy. After switching to private practice, I haven't looked back. My favorite parts of working as a therapist are the relationships I build with clients and when I see them empower themselves for change, acceptance, and self-love.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting usually starts at our first session. I ask you to define your concerns and what you want to work on, and together we come up with a treatment plan with attainable goals. I like to check in throughout our time together on our treatment plan and how I can better assist you.

Our first session

In my first session, I like to start by getting to know you and making you feel at ease. This is usually done through a pre-filled questionnaire or sometimes even a personality quiz. I will also go through information about therapy, including confidentiality and safety. By the second session, we'll go through mutually agreed upon treatment goals.
